Hi,
I have a forms and I want pass a value at runtime from a command line so that form opens querying on that value.
eg
Running a form from command line,
ifrun60 fmname.fmx userid/pwd@servicename
If the form has a field say request_no,I want it open the form at runtime querying that field
which I expect something to be like this (doesn't work)
ifrun60 fmname.fmx userid/pwd@servicename request_no=10
I would like to to pass the value at runtime so that form open querying on that field.
Can anyone help me with it ?

Thanks a lot Martin.Tht information helped me.
I have another scenario where I am an sending email and I want to set up a link so that on clicking the link the form opens querying a specific record.
Do you know how that could be done?
Thank you once again.

Martin,
A SMALL BACKGROUND BEFORE I ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS
Consider 2 forms
1)Admin form
This form has button. On the click of the button it sends an email out to a person. I want to create a link in this email so that on clicking the link, the user should be able to call another form(Feedback form).
i.e. The link (which is in the email) should call the .bat file
which contains the call for the feeback form(ifrun60 feedback.fmx userid/pwd@servicename request_no=10)
2)Feedback form
ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
Where is the link?
The link is in the email
What does it look like?
?? hyperlink?
Is the email calling the form or the form calling the email?
The email should have a link to call the form.
MY QUESTION
HOW TO CREATE A LINK INSIDE THE EMAIL TO CALL THIS .BAT FILE?
Kindly let me know.
Thanks,
|

Calling a Microsoft '.bat' file from an email I consider to be a Microsoft problem, not a Forms problem.
From my very limited knowledge of Microsoft and calling batch files, I assume that the value for 'request_no' would have to be passed as a parameter to the batch file and this batch file would do the necessary substitution to put it into the parameter string.
Y ou need to look at a Microsoft forum for the answer.
